Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what percentage of drones, including IOTs (small communicating modular devices), procured by the MOD are made with Chinese components.

We do not procure Chinese manufactured drones for use in operations, and we review our critical supply chains regularly to identify and mitigate potential risks to our National Security.

The MOD does not routinely comment on the relative percentages on the origin or percentages of specific components of our planned or in service capabilities.
